For patients with hypopituitarism and DI with rim enhancement on MRI, we should consider the possible diagnosis of PA. Proper use of antibiotics, complete drainage via surgery and hormone replacement for hypopituitarism are the key treatments for PA.

Hong Kong's health system was established within the framework of a perfect market-oriented economic matrix, where there are wide-ranging social security and medical service systems. There are many differences in the economic foundations, social systems, and ideologies between Hong Kong and mainland China, therefore, it would probably be entirely impossible to copy Hong Kong's health care system mode. However, under the framework of one country, two systems, the referential significance of relevant concepts of Hong Kong's medical service system to mainland China cannot be ignored, and merits further study.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant and lethal intracranial tumor, with extremely limited treatment options. Immunotherapy has been widely studied in GBM, but none can significantly prolong the overall survival (OS) of patients without selection. Considering that GBM cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a non-negligible role in tumorigenesis and chemoradiotherapy resistance, we proposed a novel stemness-based classification of GBM and screened out certain population more responsive to immunotherapy. The one-class logistic regression algorithm was used to calculate the stemness index (mRNAsi) of 518 GBM patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database based on transcriptomics of GBM and pluripotent stem cells. Based on their stemness signature, GBM patients were divided into two subtypes via consensus clustering, and patients in Stemness Subtype I presented significantly better OS but poorer progression-free survival than Stemness Subtype II. Genomic variations revealed patients in Stemness Subtype I had higher somatic mutation loads and copy number alteration burdens. Additionally, two stemness subtypes had distinct tumor immune microenvironment patterns. Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion and subclass mapping analysis further demonstrated patients in Stemness Subtype I were more likely to respond to immunotherapy, especially anti-PD1 treatment. The pRRophetic algorithm also indicated patients in Stemness Subtype I were more resistant to temozolomide therapy. Finally, multiple machine learning algorithms were used to develop a 7-gene Stemness Subtype Predictor, which were further validated in two external independent GBM cohorts. This novel stemness-based classification could provide a promising prognostic predictor for GBM and may guide physicians in selecting potential responders for preferential use of immunotherapy.
